198876577London: Michael Joseph 1988. Abridged Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Format is approximately 7.25 inches by 10.25 inches. xiv 224 2 pages. Endpaper maps. Illustrations. Glossary. Note on the Illustrations. Published in association with the National Army Museum London. Charles Allen born 1940 is a British freelance writer and popular historian who lives in London. His British parents were both born in India and his prolific works focus on the British Raj. Allen's work focuses largely on India and the Indian Subcontinent in general. Although Captain Albert Hervey rose to the rank of Major General this memoir covers his first impressionable years on the sub-continent in the heady days before the Indian Mutiny. Hervey vividly recalls his early experiences. From the duties of a young subaltern in barracks to a hard day's shikar in the padifields from the giddy whirl of balls and mess nights to the chill of executions at dawn; and from the comic vexations of drunken servants to the medieval pageantry of an oriental army on the line of march. Hervey's evocations of a soldier's works is vibrant with the sights and sounds and minutiae of a way of life that seemed set to last for ever. Michael Joseph hardcover

Inscribed by Hervey Allen to the poet Robert Frost: "Signed with all affection and the deepest of respect for Robert Frost on the occasion of a visit to him and his at Gainesville Florida March 1938. Hervey Allen." An exceptional association. Frost and his wife moved to Gainesville in December 1937 where the poet was lecturing at the University of Florida. Mrs. Frost suffered a heart attack and died on March 20 1938. Allen rushed up from Miami to console Frost who was nearly in a state of collapse. Allen's sympathetic presence was acknowledged by Frost who sent him a note with long quotations from Tennyson partly from In Memoriam closing with the heartfelt sentiment "I shall never forget your coming to me with such sympathy." This copy was almost certainly presented by Allen to Frost on that memorable visit. An outstanding association. Farrar & Rinehart hardcover
